Some Internet marketers believe you should not mention fact that working online is an easy way to make money. They say you should stress that work is involved if you want to be successful and long hours are sometimes necessary. True again, but fatigue from spending too long at your home computer can hardly be compared to exhaustion of spending hours rescuing injured people from a collapsed building (now that is definitely not an easy way to make money).

Internet marketers will remind you that you have to face a steep learning curve when you start to work online. Indeed you do, but it's hardly rocket science, and I never heard of anyone who died from thinking too much. Try another two options and tell me which one you think is hard work and which one is easy way to make money. Option one: training to be a brain surgeon. Option two, learning about website promotion. I maintain that latter option is easy way to make money.

In case you're not convinced, a final test to decide which option is easy way to make money. Option one being a nurse. Option two being an affiliate marketer. No contest!

If I had to choose one single thing that makes an online business a great easy way to make money I would say being your own boss. The second thing would be having freedom to do what you enjoy. If you enjoy what you are working at, it can't fail to be an easy way to make money and I don't see point of doing things hard way when there's a choice.

•Web Hosting - Sign up with a reputable web host, not a free one, and ensure that they offer enough web space and bandwidth for your needs and do not host 'bad neighborhood' websites on their servers.

This could have a detrimental effect on your site's rankings and effect server reliability.

•Website Design – The image, functionality etc of your website obviously needs to be out of top drawer. It’s no good having tons of traffic that is not captured and doesn’t result in sales.

•Products and Services - Decide on products and/or services that you are going to market.

•Affiliate Marketing - If you are going to do affiliate marketing decide on a niche market and promote appropriate affiliates only.

Promoting many products and affiliates on your site will only serve to confuse site visitor and result in no sale!

•Advertising - If you are going to spend money on advertising, spend wisely.

You don't want to spend your budget on non-effective marketing.

•Website Traffic - To establish a high profile for your website you will need to pay a lot of attention to Search Engine Optimization for your site to appear in SERP's (Search Engine Results Pages)

•E-Mail List - Establish an opt-in email list to send out newsletters to.

As list grows so will your business, however if you indulge in spamming practices your business will only go one way...down!

Their are many dubious offers out there that promise to drive huge amounts of instant traffic to your site...beware of wasting your money on them
